Oxfam GB are recruiting for an experienced Emergency Food Security & Livelihoods (EFSL) specialist to help scale up and improve the quality of our work in humanitarian emergencies. We need your skills, innovative ideas and ability to put them into practice.
EFSL Humanitarian Support Personnel deliver timely and appropriate assistance directly to those affected by crises in order to save both their lives and livelihoods. You will influence other actors to prevent, and respond appropriately to, food crisis. You will be at the cutting-edge of humanitarian practice in urban contexts, and with the development of cash transfer and market based approaches that support, rather than undermine, local livelihoods.
EFSL HSPs work in a variety of contexts and programmes around the world. You will work to reduce the risk of conflict and disasters, manage first phase responses to new crises and promote early recovery of livelihoods. You will be part of a dynamic team at the forefront of developments that are changing the way the humanitarian system is responding to crises.
You will have considerable experience managing food security and livelihoods programmes in different emergency contexts and countries. An ability to influence and communicate your ideas strategically and effectively is essential.
